Here is a Spanish detective: his name is Leo Caldas. So different from all his colleagues – the Norwegians, the British, the Americans, the French. He will indeed solve a mysterious and suspenseful mystery, the murder of a young saxophonist, but he will do so – with his assistant Esteves – while eating fresh fish and seafood in inns and restaurants on the beautiful Atlantic coast of Galicia, and while drinking white wines from the region, against a backdrop of authentic landscapes, surrounded by simple characters, immersed in the picturesque everyday life of the place. What more could you ask for? A strange and joyful read. A detective who loves to enjoy life. Bright, elegant and fresh writing. A lively read that ignites our imagination, as we witness wanderings, chases and mysteries, against a backdrop of witty dialogues, precise descriptions, and jazz songs by Billie Holiday. All this while our stomachs growl with hunger, and our heads sail to the northwest of Spain. "Eyes of Water" by Domingo Villar is the novel that opens Leo Caldes' fascinating detective series, and its sequels are "The Shore of the Drowned" and "The Petrified Cross." It is the most successful book in the history of Galician literature; a mandatory textbook in the schools of this province. A book that has been translated into twelve languages, chosen as "Book of the Year" by the Galician Booksellers Association, and following it, tourists set off on walking tours of the sites where the plot takes place. This is the first book in the "noir" series of "Nine Souls": a work that simultaneously functions as a feature novel, a delightful foreign film, and a gastronomic guide. An irresistible literary piece. "To read with delightful suspense, then run to buy a plane ticket to Galicia. Before the wine runs out!" Francesco Rufino, "Corriere della Sera" "An excellent detective novel, in which the reader is captivated by the bitter poetry of the place, and by the handful of characters whose characters are so tragically human" H.A. Ayala Deep "A precise portrait, a clever plot, the atmosphere of a small, foggy place of quiet people caught up in sudden violence." "La Vanguardia" "With 'Water Eyes', Verier confirms both his being an excellent writer and his talent for describing life and landscapes." "In Babylon"
